Interesting subject for sure. Definitely NOT any cousin of mine... thats for sure!

Well I had a cousin that looks just like me, only he was 3 yrs older than me & STr8 w/ 4 kids, when he grew up, so, when we were younger in our teen yrs. he was a High school-football-player (Like I was) we played around for a while, but we were young I was 15 he was 18, and that was a very long time ago he recently died last month he was 58 yrs old. about a yr. before he died, he called me, and we had a long 2 hr talk, he told me that he loved me, and to take care of myself & my otherhalf, it was liberating to here that after so many yrs.

That's a sweet and sad cousin story, Den. Good that you guys had that conversation.

Thanks Andy, I'm glad I had that conversation too, I always seem to have a horrible time with getting any real closure, after someone's death, it makes me sad that I don't get a lot of that, I wish I would have gotten closure after Carl Wilcox death back in AUG 20011, it still kinda bothers me that Carl's otherhalf Norm still hasn't contacted me, cuz I want closure, DAMMIT, but ya know, I don't think I'm gonna get it
